Wireless sensor networks are widely applied in various applications. But due to the resource-constrained sensor nodes and the malicious attacks, the traditional key management schemes are not suitable for the network. Contraposing the particularities, many relevant key management schemes are developed for WSNs the network. Based on the framework of WSNs, existing schemes can be classified into two categories: flat distributed architecture and hierarchical architecture. In this paper, a hybrid key management scheme for wireless sensor network is proposed by combining the distributed architecture and the hierarchical architecture. Based on the modified version of Dus matrix construction, this scheme can apply in WSNs with the network topology changes. Compared with existing key management schemes, this scheme can provide sufficient security, nicer key connectivity and low key storage overhead.
